Groddil's Journal

Entry #01:

Why on Earth would he come all the way out here? Dad's been a little nuts for some time now, but not like this.
Leaving me in that fish-like old hospital without waking me... Without a darn flashlight.
I made enough selling the meds we scrounged to have kept us both fed at the colony for weeks.
Now I'm almost out of rations, my shoes are pretty much destroyed, and I'm still chasing the old coot. By my last reckoning, he was headed south.

Entry #02:

Maybe I shouldn't have waited so darn long to start tracking him. Trail's gone cold. Going to wander with these guys a while.
They say they wander the area -- maybe somebody's seen Dad.

Entry #03:

These guys aren't who I thought they were. Jeez, they killed that family for a sack of rotten vegetables.
Getting out of here next chance I can without catching a bullet.

Entry #04:

Hit a caravan today. Trev didn't see the kid and got popped. I took care of Tawny right then, and put one in Thor before he saw her fall.
That earned me some grub from the traders. Even better, they saw dad. He was in pretty rough shape, and still has the crow book.
Trader says it gave him the creeps. Me too. But it's good to know he's still alive. Still headed south.

Entry #05:

He must have been trying to trap food here. I recognize his snares. I can make out a building on the horizon. That must be where he headed.
If not, at least I get a roof tonight.

Entry #06:

Don't like the look of this place... Don't like the smell. Gives me the creeps.
Don't want to risk a shot at the crows until I know what's in there. Sneaking in tonight.

Entry #07:

The raiders told spooky stories about zombies in the ruins. Never saw anything like that where I come from, but Lord help me, they're real.
Not quite what Thor said, but close. These things look... I think they really used to be people.

Entry #08:

God help me. I found Dad today... I didn't think it was him, but... The face. The zombies didn't touch him. I think... He was becoming like them.
Didn't know it was him until I found that old book near him. No more killing. I just need to go. Can't forget the book. All I have left of him.
It's warm against the stone. I'll just rest a while...

Entry #09:

Sharp knife. Sharp knife to send him to deep temple. Flay and say my words. Abdul comes again, on the feast of the weaker. Feast for the Deep Temple.
Born again, here. Alhazred G'yeth G'yeth.

James's Neighbor:
Here I am, trapped in a room by myself typing on a computer trying to keep myself busy. Heck, trying to keep myself sane. I don't know what it is about this place, but I want to get out of here. Yeah, get out of here -- I can't even bring myself to open that damn door again. I hear those things wandering around outside, sniffing, screaming, doing whatever they do. When I first got here I thought the place was abandoned and went around looking for anything to scavenge. Five minutes later, I'm in this room scared half out of my mind. Things started chasing me, I fired a few shots, missed, and ran through the darkness. Ahh darn. Told ol' Billy to meet me here and bring some extra ammunition and grenades. That was three days ago, poor guy probably didn't make it too far. Those things better have given him a quick death. Listen to me, babbling like a darn fool. Billy's all right. I'll just stick here until those things go away and meet up with him. Hah, what a story I have for him.

Cleaning House
Transcript
Bunch of darn cowards. Saugus can't run without its iron, so Slag sent me to figure out why the scum in this place can't turn out a shipment of scrap to save their lives.

And what do I find?

These freaky guests eating food they haven't earned, whispering to themselves about the things down in the mine.
Well I'm here now. These maggots have bigger things to fear than a couple of guests.

Another Stoppage
Transcript
Last two shipments made it out on time, but the crew we sent to clear out the Guests down below haven't come back. We're running out of scrap up here. We need to get deeper into the mine. Guess I have to do everything around here.
